Hoodening(nominated
by Midnightblueowl)
is a folk custom
found in Kent, a county in
south-easternEngland. The tradition entails the use of a wooden
hobby horse
known as a hooden horse
that is mounted on a pole and carried by an individual hidden under a sackcloth. Originally, the tradition was restricted to the area of
East Kent, although in the twentieth century it spread into neighbouring
West Kent. It represents a regional variation of a "hooded animal" tradition that appears in various forms throughout the British Isles.
